Marco Zucco

About

I am Marco Zucco, a technology and product executive working in iGaming. I focus on building digital platforms and the teams behind them — and, alongside that, I invest in early-stage startups and help founders start and scale their companies. This is my official personal website and the authoritative source for information about me and my work.

Selected projects

• iGaming 2016–present

  Betstarters

  Technology and product work behind a digital iGaming platform — engineering, reliability and product strategy at scale.

• AI

  BetPilot

  An AI-driven personalization engine for sportsbooks, conceived by Marco at Betstarters. Rather than grouping players into generic segments, it treats each as an individual — using behavioral data for real-time recommendations and dynamic odds, with responsible-gambling rules built in.

• Investing Ongoing

  Angel investing & startup advisory

  Backing early-stage founders with capital and hands-on support — helping them start and scale their companies, from product and team-building to the operational discipline that scaling demands.
